Question/Comment:

Nosebleeds, is that even on the PIL?

Answer/Reply:

If you are talking about a monthly menstrual cycle and that of a nosebleed adding to blood loss when they occur together then I am going to say "No". A monthly cycle takes about a month or so to accumulate enough tissue and blood in the uterus and without the egg being fertilized it sloughs off and becomes what is called a "period' or "menstrual cycle". The blood and accumulated tissue is used for the egg when fertilized to grow in ( like a nest) and become a fetus and you know the rest of the story . A nose bleed comes from the small blood vessels ( capillaries) near the surface of the skin usually due to dryness which in turn causes this symptom of bleeding. There is no need to fear bleeding too much or what you may think of as becoming anemic s a result as there is not enough blood loss to be concerned about. No more than a cup of blood from a period and much less from a nosebleed. The Pill controls the hormones in our body in relation to a monthly cycle and of course nosebleeds as explained above does not. So whether on the pill or not, a nosebleed occurs and flow amount is totally unaffected by the pill. I hope this helps explain what you want to know.
